People (women, especially) don’t fuel enough for what we ask our bodies to do day in and day out, and then we expect to perform our best too? It doesn’t work that way. And (thankfully for me) ultra running isn’t a sport that praises aesthetics. But we are rewarded with strong legs 60 miles in because we shoved mashed potatoes down at mile 50. Over the last 6 months I’ve been practicing eating for this kind of thing, because it takes just that - so much practice.

Eating the most I ever have while maintaining over these past few weeks/months has blown my mind. It's definitely taught me that food is fuel and you need to fuel your body in order to be successful in whatever kind of training you're doing. I could not be more thankful for the flexibility and guidance BIN gives me, allowing me to work towards my goals while still enjoying life and making memories.

Aaron came to Black Iron Nutrition in 2019 as a Lifestyle client. Before working with BIN, and his coach Kelly, he had lost some weight, but wanted more energy for running and doing Crossfit. Fast forward 2 years--Aaron quickly transitioned to our Performance Nutrition program, and dove head first into running competitively.
